Sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid are not good substitute for sodium azide in airbags since the require more mass and produce less gas.

<h3>Which is the better chemical for an airbag?</h3>

The chemical equation for the production of nitrogen gas from sodium azide is given below:

  • NaN₃ → 2 Na + 3 N₂

1 mole or 66 go of sodium azide produces 3 moles or 67.2 L of nitrogen gas.

The equation for the production of carbon dioxide from sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid is given below:

  • Na₂CO₃ + CH₃COOH → CH₃COONa + CO₂ + H₂O

1 mole, 106 g of Na₂CO₃ and 1 mole, 82 g of CH₃COOH are required to produce 1 mole or 22.4 L of CO₂.

The mass of sodium azide required is less than that of sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid required. Also, sodium azide produces a greater volume of gas. Therefore, sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid are not good substitute for sodium azide in airbags.

In conclusion, sodium azide is a better choice in airbags.
